35 | How To Get Back Up Again: Raising Resilient Kids Who Don't Quit

What do you do when your child wants to quit?

On a ski slope with one of our kids, we watched the familiar arc unfold: excitement followed by reality, frustration, self-doubt, and the strong desire to give up. But by the end of the day, something had changed.

In this episode, we talk about how growth always passes through the "mid-mountain" moment and what it looks like to walk beside your child through the frustration, without rescuing them or pushing them too hard. We discuss how to help kids build perseverance and resilience, how to encourage without pressuring, and how security and steady presence matter the most.

Ultimately, we explore the deeper truth: just as we parent our children through challenging situations, we are also children ourselves, dependent on a patient, loving Heavenly Father who never leaves our side.

If your child has ever said, "I can't," this one's for you.
